Use the \<number> for this. like this: "Elem\22ent1" or whatever ti-ascii
value the char you want has.

Isn't this function a bit strange? What happens if there happens to be two
identical strings after each other in memory?
like s1 points to one place with
"string1\0string2"
and the other to another place in memory where
"string1\0string2"
is stored.
Then it will return NULL even though the first string is "string1" in both
and thus identical.
check for null or nonmatching char in the loop, and return
NULL if you didn't stop at null or counter of length (x) if you did or
something close to that instead.
should be a bit faster too, since you don't have to count the length of the
string twice as you do now.
while(s2[x]!=0 && s1[x]==s2[x])
x++;
maybe.
